Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Arising triumphantly from the ashes of its predecessor, the phoenix has been an enduring symbol of resilience and renewal for thousands of years. But how did this mythical bird become so famous that it has played a part in cultures around the world and throughout human history? How much of i…ts story do we actually know? Here to offer a comprehensive biography and engaging (un)natural history of the phoenix is Joseph Nigg, esteemed expert on mythical creaturesfrom griffins and dragons to sea monsters. Beginning in ancient Egypt and traveling around the globe and through the centuries, Niggs vast and sweeping narrative takes readers on a brilliant tour of the cross-cultural lore of this famous, yet little-known, immortal bird. Seeking both the similarities and the differences in the phoenixs many myths and representations, Nigg describes its countless permutations over millennia, including legends of the Chinese phoenix, which was considered one of the sacred creatures that presided over Chinas destiny; classical Greece and Rome, where it can be found in the writings of Herodotus and Ovid; nascent and medieval Christianity, in which it came to embody the resurrection; and in Europe during the Renaissance, when it was a popular emblem of royals. Nigg examines the various phoenix traditions, the beliefs and tales associated with them, their symbolic and metaphoric use, the skepticism and speculation theyve raised, and their appearance in religion, bestiaries, and even contemporary popular culture, in which the ageless bird of renewal is employed as a mascot and logo, including for our own University of Chicago. Never bested by hardship or defeated by death, the phoenix is the ultimate icon of hope and rebirth. And in The Phoenix: An Unnatural Biography of a Mythical Beast, it finally has its duea complete chronicle worthy of such a fantastic and phantasmal creature. This entertaining and informative look at the life and transformation of the phoenix will be the authoritative source for anyone fascinated by folklore and mythology, re-igniting our curiosity about one of myths greatest beasts. From a simple story of a bird dying in its nest and rising, reborn from its ashes has come centuries of fables of the Phoenix. The late-Roman poet Claudian hailed the Phoenix as one that hast beheld all that has been, / hast witnessed the passing of the ages, and more than one-and-a-half millennia since he wrote those lines, the bird is all around us in words and images. The figure is in our common speech: like the Phoenix rising from the ashes. Throughout the Internet are global place-names, businesses, organizations, and products of all kinds that bear forms of its name in multiple languages. Thanks to nineteenth-century scholars, the Phoenix is now widely associated with the ancient Egyptian benu and the Chinese fenghuang. The Phoenix figure has inspired contemporary restoration projects from that of Kobe, Japan, after the devastating 1995 earthquake, to that of the Washington, D.C., Pentagon after the terrorist bombings of September 11, 2001. Millions of us around the world watched live footage of the Fenix 2 capsule rescuing thirty-three trapped Chilean minersone by one--from deep within the earth in October 2010. Paradoxically, the pictorial modern Phoenix rises triumphantly from flames, not ashes, on seals, flags, coins, commercial logos, and emblems. This book traces its flight path throughout history, science, and culture, diving into writings of Shakespeare and Ray Bradbury, and depictions of the bird in hieroglyphs and on pottery. It explores the mythical taxonomy surrounding the bird, and those who have pursued it. This is the long-form Phoenix history, with an incredibly thorough sourcing of written, drawn, painted, and otherwise rendered representation Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
